Importing stereo file into two tracks

[RickD]

When importing a stereo audio file I am only getting two results. Either I get both channels in on a stereo track or, when I click "Import into mono tracks" I get one track with both channels combined.  The track is from Ron Carter's "Building Jazz Bass Lines".  The audio has drums and piano in one channel and drums and bass on the other. I want to mute the track with the bass (sorry, Ron) and record my practice on a different track. 

Using Cakewalk on a Microsoft Surface Pro 7 with a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 interface.

Thanks!

I can pan the stereo track to only hear the channel I want which will work for me, but still wondering why I can't import into two tracks.

After importing, select the track and use Bounce To Track(s) with the "Split Mono" channel format to create two new mono tracks from the original clip.

Channel Tools maybe?  Cakewalk - Cakewalk Documentation - Channel Tools plug-in

Thanks for the responses. Bounce to tracks worked.
